Going Green: How Windows Boost Energy-Efficiency at Home

Windows are an element of the home that is often taken for granted. We pick and buy them to brighten our homes during dark, gloomy days and allow cool air in when the summer season feels too hot and humid. However, some homeowners may give little thought about improving energy-efficiency in their living spaces using the best replacement windows. Green or energy-efficient windows and designs can significantly boost your home’s aesthetic appeal, resale value and comfort.

 

Going Green: How Windows Boost Energy-Efficiency at Home

 

What Makes an Energy-Efficient Window?

A good home has well-made windows that reduce energy consumption and do not negatively impact the natural environment. If you want to look to install new energy-efficient windows for your home, here are the components or qualities you should look for.

1. Multiple Panes: New innovations in the window industry detailed that in order for windows to help reduce energy costs at home, switching from single-pane to double-pane is the way to go. This is to effectively slow down the transfer of heat and cold between the interior and exterior.

2. Low-E Coating: Home window replacement contractors apply low-E coating to their windows to make them more energy-efficient. Low-E glass was developed to minimize the amount of infrared and ultraviolet light that comes through your glass. It also can prevent heat loss in winter and high temperatures from entering your home in summer.

3. Low Conductivity Frames: Aluminum and steel are window materials that can conduct heat and cold. Instead, you can opt for our patented Fibrex® frames. Fibrex has superior thermal insulating properties that can help you save on energy bills.

Why Your Home Needs Energy-Efficient Windows

Any reputable windows installer will attest that green remodeling is more than energy efficiency and energy savings. It can also enhance the character of your home since replacement windows come in a variety of colors, finishes, and styles. You can also say goodbye to sun damage because window glazings reduce the level of ultraviolet rays that get through the glass. Ultimately, consistent temperatures inside the home make for more comfortable living, preventing health issues that poor, drafty windows can bring.

"The men who came out were able to work with each other good and professional showing us how the job would start and how long it would take. While they were doing their job they saw that the windows sills were off balance and very diligent and made it repairable to place the new windows in they cleaned up the area where they were working and made it look like no one had been there. They were very polite."

"Renewal by Anderson replaced our windows about a week ago. It made our home look brand new! Absolutely beautiful product!!! All the staff were kind and professional. Jackie and his crew did the installation and we have never had such a professional job done on our home! Highly recommend this company!"

"I have purchased 16 Anderson windows and they are great. The windows are perfect but the installation was the best. It is a joy having these windows in my 1910 home."
